From EastEnders' longest running character Ian Beale, to Coronation Street's Sarah Platt, take a look and see how much these soap stars have changed.

And amid the commotion, Steve’s right hand man Matthew Rose (Joe Absolom) ran in and hurled himself on the crazed woman scorned before Steve whacked her over the head with an ashtray.

Saskia’s death left huge ripples in the BBC soap as Steve later framed Matthew for his ex’s murder, before the teen came back for revenge betting his former boss to a chair and threatening to set him on fire.

Actress Deborah Sheridan-Taylor has come a long way since her days as a soap star to establish herself as an acclaimed interior designer.

So much so, she even appeared on Channel 4’s Grand Designs in 2014.

She now lives with her husband Jonathan and their two daughters.

Martin Kemp’s career needs little explaining. As bassist in Spandau Ballet, Martin was already a household name as a member of one of the biggest bands of the 1980s.

Since Steve was blown up while trapped in a car explosion in 2002, Martin has gone on to star in a number of movies and recently sat alongside Gary Barlow and Dannii Minogue as a judge on Let It Shine.
